In 2024, Women for Conservation and our partner in Madagascar are employing 6 women rangers to patrol and protect an 800 year-old forest of Baobab trees, known as Baobab Alley (Allee des Baobabs). Help us provide support salary and training for these 6 Women Rangers to patrol and plant seedlings in the majestic and Endangered Baobab Alley of Madagascar.
While Madagascar is home to incredible biodiversity (80% of its species can be found nowhere else in the world) it has also suffered from devastating deforestation which has destroyed all but 10% of the island's precious primary forests. Baobab Alley's ancient and endangered GiantBaobab trees represent an irreplaceable natural treasure which are now protected by these women rangers who patrol daily, significantly reducing vandalism and environmental destruction.
Empower our 6 women forest guards with funding and support to protect Madagascar's Giant Baobabs. These women are the frontline defenders, patrolling Baobab Alley to deter threats like graffiti, bark stripping, and illegal fires. Supporting their plant nursery has improved the wildlife habitat with upwards of 90% sapling survival rate.
With your support, we aim to sustain ranger patrols, ensuring the long-term conservation of Baobab Alley. Women forest rangers will patrol the area on bicycles, intercept threats, transport Baobab seedlings, and engage with the community. Official ranger gear will symbolize their unity and commitment, amplifying their authority and impact. Your contribution secures a future where Baobab Alley is protected, biodiversity flourishes, and women stand as pillars of conservation.
